I don't think big corporations are the pinnacle of capitalism; the phrase "corporate bullshit" exists for good reason. They can be bloated with bureaucracy, have pockets of people that are paid do essentially nothing, be wrung through the hands of executives who make a personal killing while the company goes down in flames. They have a tendency of morphing away from providing real value and into preserving their own existence by any means necessary (see: lobbying the government to take control away from the market that spawned them).

- calambrac 18y agoAgain, interesting analogy. Big lumbering dinosaurs were the peak of their evolutionary line, too, but the small rodents are who survived and thrived after the asteroid hit.
- mattmaroon 18y agoIn this case the dinosaurs are their own asteroid.
